How we handle sink repair in Whirlow
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whirlow as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Whirlow questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the whole of Sheffield?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whirlow?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
