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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Whalley

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Whalley: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BB7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
