Sink repair in Whitton, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about sink repair in Whitton

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Whitton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whitton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need sink repair in Whitton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whitton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
