How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
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 will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos

Whitkirk: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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 repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Whitkirk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
