Sink repair in Upper Westholme, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about sink repair in Upper Westholme

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Upper Westholme is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What affects the price in Upper Westholme

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Upper Westholme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
