Sink repair at your home in Whiston
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Advice
Whiston questions
Do you come to Whiston?
We do. Technicians travel to Whiston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Whiston
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
