Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Questions from Whittington
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Whittington
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
