About our sink repair in Writhlington
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Writhlington questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Writhlington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Writhlington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Writhlington?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
