Winlaton questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Winlaton. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Winlaton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
