Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in St Helens and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Windle: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Windle?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Windle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Windle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
