How we handle sink repair in Woodhouse
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Woodhouse
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Common questions in Woodhouse
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- 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 hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodhouse
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Woodhouse, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
