DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Whitwick questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Whitwick included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Whitwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whitwick and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does sink repair cost in Whitwick?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Signs you need sink repair in Whitwick
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
