What else we do in Whaplode Drove
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Whaplode Drove questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Whaplode Drove
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whaplode Drove. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Whaplode Drove
For anyone letting property in or around Whaplode Drove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
