Advice
Common problems we fix in Wheatcroft
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Wheatcroft
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
