Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

FAQs for Woodhouse
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Woodhouse
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
