About our sink repair in Woodcock Hill
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Woodcock Hill
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodcock Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Woodcock Hill clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Common problems we fix in Woodcock Hill
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
