Trusted sink repair in Wotter

Sink repair in Wotter without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Wotter

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

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, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
