- Repairs from £95

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
About our sink repair in Wilshaw
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Wilshaw
How much does sink repair cost in Wilshaw?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wilshaw, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Other services in Wilshaw
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
