How we handle sink repair in Woolstone

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Woolstone questions

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.

Are you accredited?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

Repair chips before they stain
Use mild cleaners only
Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Woolstone

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
Whether we combine several jobs
What the surface is made of
The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A wider photo showing the whole basin
Any details about the material
Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
