Sink repair for Wennington homes

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our sink repair in Wennington

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Around Wennington, bathrooms and cloakrooms tend to be small, so a chipped basin is hard to miss. We repair it in place, without disconnecting anything.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. In a London neighbourhood like Wennington, we sort parking first: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run smoothly. Nothing is taken out of the property; the work happens where the basin is.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. In flats around Wennington, replacing can mean noise, dust and permission from the building’s managers. A repair is quieter and quicker.

Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Wennington

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
