What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- No extra charge for your area

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Woodhatch questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you cover Woodhatch?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woodhatch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhatch as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need sink repair in Woodhatch?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
