Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

When to call us in Whitton

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Questions from Whitton

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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