Sink Repair for Whauphill homes
Damaged basin in Whauphill? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Sink repair in Whauphill without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace in Whauphill?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
