Sink & basin repair in Wellington, Somerset
Sink repair in and around Wellington: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair in Wellington, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim, we can help, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Your questions about sink repair in Wellington
How much does sink repair cost in Wellington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Wellington
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
