How we handle sink repair in High Westwood
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
