Sink repair at your home in Winston
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Winston. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Winston questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
