About our sink repair in Woodend

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we cannot put right

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

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Woodend

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Woodend

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
