How we handle sink repair in Wherwell
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?

Is the work guaranteed?

Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Wherwell
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
