Sink Repair for Wernolau homes
Sink repair across Wernolau and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair at your home in Wernolau
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Wernolau
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repairing versus replacing in Wernolau
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Wernolau
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wernolau. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
