Sink repair in Woodhall, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and a chipped basin edge, on antique & period basins, vanity unit 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.

What affects the price in Woodhall

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Woodhall

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Woodhall.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
