Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitwood

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Whitwood

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you come to Whitwood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whitwood and the rest of Wakefield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Whitwood

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

Most customers in Whitwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WF10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
