What we are called out for in Worlington

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 typically cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

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 polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Worlington

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
