Sink repair in Winterbourne Stoke

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Sink repair at your home in Winterbourne Stoke

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Winterbourne Stoke and across Wiltshire.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When to call us in Winterbourne Stoke

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Winterbourne Stoke

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Landlord and trade work in Winterbourne Stoke

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Winterbourne Stoke, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Common questions in Winterbourne Stoke

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Are there extra charges for Winterbourne Stoke?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SP3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
