Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle sink repair in Winford
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bath and North East Somerset.

FAQs for Winford
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Winford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Winford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
