Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Wilson
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When to call us in Wilson

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote

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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
