Trusted sink repair in Wenallt

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Wenallt

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you come to Wenallt?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wenallt. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
