How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Winford
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Winford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
