About our sink repair in Wilcove
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in Wilcove
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilcove
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilcove use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Wilcove: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
