Sink Repair for Wickwar homes
Fixed-price sink repair in Wickwar and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Wickwar, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are often asked to fix chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Wickwar
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Wickwar
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
