Repair or replace in Wellwood?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Sink repair in Wellwood without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
