Sink repair in Wilford

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Wilford

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Wilford?

We do. Technicians travel to Wilford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What we are called out for in Wilford

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wilford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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