Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Woodston

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Your questions about sink repair in Woodston

Are there extra charges for Woodston?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodston

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodston. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Woodston

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
