Sink repair at your home in Wokingham
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wokingham and the surrounding area.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wokingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wokingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t 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.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
