About our sink repair in Whatfield
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Whatfield. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Do you need sink repair in Whatfield?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
