About our sink repair in Woodmancote
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you have a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
In a village like Woodmancote, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodmancote
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. For a rural home like those around Woodmancote, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
