Sink repair in Wernbwll, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wernbwll. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Wernbwll

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
