DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Wombwell
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Wombwell
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
We cover the entire UK, including Wombwell and the rest of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Are there extra charges for Wombwell?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
