Sink repair in Wilton

Your questions about sink repair in Wilton

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Sink repair in Wilton, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Signs you need sink repair in Wilton

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
