Sink repair in Wiggaton, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wiggaton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Wiggaton?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wiggaton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
