Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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

Sink repair in Wilson without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wilson and across Herefordshire.

Landlord and trade work in Wilson

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilson as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Wilson

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wilson. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
