What else we do in Wetley Rocks
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wetley Rocks. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
