Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlord and trade work in Whitehough
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whitehough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Questions from Whitehough
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Whitehough is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Are there extra charges for Whitehough?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whitehough?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SK23 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
