How we handle sink repair in Woolston
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Common questions in Woolston
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work in Woolston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Woolston and the rest of Shropshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
