DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we are called out for in Whipton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whipton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Whipton: your questions answered
Do you come to Whipton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whipton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
