Sink repair near Woodchurch

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Sink repair in Woodchurch, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Woodchurch

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Do you need sink repair in Woodchurch?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
