Sink repair in Winnersh without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Winnersh. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in Winnersh

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Winnersh questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
