What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it. Visits around Whaddon are usually simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. In a smaller place like Whaddon, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.
Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
