FAQs for Whalley Range
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
