FAQs for Wrekenton

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Wrekenton?

What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Wrekenton?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
