Damaged basin in Wolsingham? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Wolsingham
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Wolsingham
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
