Sink repair in Whitesmith, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Whitesmith
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whitesmith?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitesmith
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Whitesmith
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
