Sink repair in Whatlington, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Whatlington. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
