Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Whitehall and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Whitehall
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Whitehall?
We do. We send a technician to Whitehall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does sink repair cost in Whitehall?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Whitehall?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
