How we handle sink repair in Widley
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. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

FAQs for Widley
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Widley and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Widley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Widley
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Widley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
