Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common problems we fix in Whithorn
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whithorn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Whithorn questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whithorn?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairing versus replacing in Whithorn
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
