What affects the price in Whitlock's End
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Sink repair in Whitlock's End, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
