Sink repair in Whitecliff, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Whitecliff

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

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 start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Whitecliff questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Whitecliff

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
