Winson questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Winson?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL7 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Winson

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Winson

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
