About our sink repair in White Colne
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in White Colne
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to White Colne?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to White Colne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
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
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
