Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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 pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Woodthorpe
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Woodthorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Woodthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
The process
We turn 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. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Woodthorpe
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
