  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before you book

Our hiring checklist

Sink repair in Woolfardisworthy, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Woolfardisworthy

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Woolfardisworthy?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX39 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
