Your questions about sink repair in Whippendell Bottom
What areas do you cover?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Whippendell Bottom?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whippendell Bottom and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need sink repair in Whippendell Bottom
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
