- Details of any past repairs

- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Do you need sink repair in Whiteshill?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Whiteshill contact us are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Whiteshill
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whiteshill?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Whiteshill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whiteshill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
