DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle sink repair in Wilstead

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilstead

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilstead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
