Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in White Stone

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you work in White Stone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to White Stone and the rest of Herefordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in White Stone

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for White Stone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
