From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whaley and across Nottinghamshire.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Whaley
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Whaley questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Whaley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whaley and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whaley. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
