Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Whisterfield

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Whisterfield

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What to look for in a quote

Common questions in Whisterfield

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
