How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Sink repair at your home in Whitley Wood
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Whitley Wood
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairs by material
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
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What affects the price in Whitley Wood
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
