Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Winchfawr
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Winchfawr questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Merthyr Tydfil. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you come to Winchfawr?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Winchfawr. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winchfawr as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
