Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Whitton
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Whitton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Whitton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Whitton?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
What else we do in Whitton
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Whitton
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
