About our sink repair in Wothorpe
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of

Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wothorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
