Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle sink repair in Wenvoe
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wenvoe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairing versus replacing in Wenvoe
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Wenvoe customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Wenvoe questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Wenvoe?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What else we do in Wenvoe
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
