Sink repair in Wellington without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Wellington
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wellington. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wellington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Wellington
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair can’t fix

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
