Sink repair near Woodcroft

Sink repair in Woodcroft without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Woodcroft

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we work on in Woodcroft

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
