Wincham questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Wincham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- A photo taken from further back

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
