The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What affects the price in Wicken
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Wicken get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Wicken: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Wicken?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wicken and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
