How we handle sink repair in Wellington

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When to call us in Wellington

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wellington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wellington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Wellington

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wellington.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
