FAQs for Wimblebury
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wimblebury. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wimblebury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Wimblebury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we’re called out for in Wimblebury
