Your questions about sink repair in Wentbridge
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Wentbridge?
We do. We send a technician to Wentbridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- 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.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WF8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
