Sink repair in Wolvey, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wolvey. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Wolvey and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins

Landlord and trade work in Wolvey
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
