How we handle sink repair in Whashton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Whashton
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
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.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whashton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whashton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Whashton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Whashton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What a repair cannot fix

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
