Sink repair in Whiteleas, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy 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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Whiteleas
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Whiteleas
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the whole of Sunderland?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whiteleas. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
