Sink repair in Whitleigh without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Your questions about sink repair in Whitleigh
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Whitleigh?
We do. Technicians travel to Whitleigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What affects the price in Whitleigh
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Whitleigh. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
