Sink repair in Whitchurch

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Sink repair at your home in Whitchurch

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitchurch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitchurch. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Whitchurch

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you cover Whitchurch?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Whitchurch from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
