Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair in Wilton Dean, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Wilton Dean
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Wilton Dean
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilton Dean as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Wilton Dean
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Wilton Dean
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wilton Dean. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
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 few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Before we arrive
