Sink repair at your home in Willoughton

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Willoughton: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common problems we fix in Willoughton

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

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

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for 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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
