About our sink repair in Great Whittington
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. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Great Whittington
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we’re called out for in Great Whittington
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
