Common questions in Whenby
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When to call us in Whenby
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
