Little Whelnetham: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Whelnetham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
