Whateley questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Whateley and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B78 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Whateley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Whateley
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Whateley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
