How we handle sink repair in Wolstenholme
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Wolstenholme: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Wolstenholme, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wolstenholme, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
