Whiston: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Whiston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whiston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whiston.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Whiston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace in Whiston?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How to compare quotes

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
