About our sink repair in Wincobank
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Wincobank
How much does sink repair cost in Wincobank?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wincobank
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
