About our sink repair in Whitton

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Whitton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Whitton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Whitton

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
