Wenhaston questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wenhaston.
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we’re called out for in Wenhaston
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wenhaston. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Wenhaston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What else we do in Wenhaston
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
