It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about sink repair in Whittington
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What affects the price in Whittington
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whittington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Whittington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whittington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Whittington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
