Sink repair in Wivelrod without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Your questions about sink repair in Wivelrod
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wivelrod. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Wivelrod

Other services in Wivelrod
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
