How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings

Questions from Whipsiderry
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does sink repair cost in Whipsiderry?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What affects the price in Whipsiderry
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whipsiderry. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whipsiderry, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
