Sink Repair in Wells
Fixed-price sink repair in Wells and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95

Sink repair in Wells without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Wells
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wells use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Wells
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving

What a repair can’t fix

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Wells questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
