Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, 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:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Whipsnade questions

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
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 quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
