About our sink repair in Wideopen
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Wideopen
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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 the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Wideopen
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
