Need sink repair in Wilminstone?

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilminstone

For anyone letting property in or around Wilminstone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilminstone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Wilminstone: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Wilminstone?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Wilminstone

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire basin

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

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