Sink & basin repair in Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire
We travel to Whittlesford for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price

How we handle sink repair in Whittlesford
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whittlesford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
