Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we handle sink repair in Woolston
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Woolston
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woolston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about sink repair in Woolston
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we are called out for in Woolston
