Common questions in Wern
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What we are called out for in Wern

- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
