Our hiring checklist

Sink repair in Wick, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Wick

What do you need from me?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wick. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover Wick?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wick and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
