Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair at your home in Whitley

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Questions from Whitley

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Whitley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whitley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need sink repair in Whitley?

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Whitley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
