Repairing versus replacing in Wicken
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wicken as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Wicken
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
