Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whitley Head. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about sink repair in Whitley Head
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Places near Whitley Head
What else we do in Whitley Head
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitley Head
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
