For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Wilmington questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN26 postcode.
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 if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wilmington.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need sink repair in Wilmington?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wilmington. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
