Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find.

Do you need sink repair in Whiteford?

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Whiteford

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whiteford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, 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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
