How we handle sink repair in Windermere
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Windermere as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What else we do in Windermere
Landlords, agents and businesses in Windermere
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Windermere as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in Windermere

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Windermere questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
