Sink repair in Winscales, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Winscales
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Winscales.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
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.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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 to call us in Winscales
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Winscales
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Winscales. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Winscales
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
