How we handle sink repair in Wharton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wharton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Questions from Wharton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
