What affects the price in Woodbank
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Woodbank. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Sink repair in Woodbank, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

About sink & basin repair
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
