Whittington questions
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What areas do you cover?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whittington?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What affects the price in Whittington
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whittington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
