How we handle sink repair in Windy Harbour

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Windy Harbour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PR6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about sink repair in Windy Harbour

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PR6 postcode.

Do you work in Windy Harbour?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Windy Harbour. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
