Sink repair in Wix Green, done in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace in Wix Green?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
Read our pricing.
Landlord and trade work in Wix Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
FAQs for Wix Green
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Wix Green included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Wix Green
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- Crazing in the glaze

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
