What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

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. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Wichling

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Wichling: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Wichling?

We do. Technicians travel to Wichling from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
