What else we do in Widham
Common problems we fix in Widham
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

- A crack near the taps

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Widham
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Your questions about sink repair in Widham
Do you cover Widham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Widham and the rest of Swindon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does sink repair cost in Widham?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SN5 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Landlord and trade work in Widham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Widham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Widham. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
