About our sink repair in Whittingham

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

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 work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whittingham. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whittingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need sink repair in Whittingham?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
