Sink repair for Wigmore homes

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Sink repair in Wigmore, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we are called out for in Wigmore

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Wigmore

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

For a price in Wigmore, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Wigmore questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
