About our sink repair in Widford
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Widford
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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
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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
