Sink repair for Wick homes

About our sink repair in Wick

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. 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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Wick

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you cover Wick?

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

Do you need sink repair in Wick?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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