Sink repair at your home in Werrington
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Werrington
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Werrington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Werrington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
