What else we do in Whittingham
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Whittingham questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace in Whittingham?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whittingham. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whittingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
You don’t need a survey visit. 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 price.
Landlord and trade work in Whittingham
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Whittingham
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
