Sink repair at your home in Wensley
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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 your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 quote, not a guess.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
