Common questions in Whitchurch
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to Whitchurch?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whitchurch and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Shropshire.

What else we do in Whitchurch
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitchurch
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
