Sink Repair in Wickstreet
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Wickstreet, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
How we handle sink repair in Wickstreet
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our pricing.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin 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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlord and trade work in Wickstreet
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
