Wistow questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Wistow?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Other services in Wistow
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wistow. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wistow, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wistow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
