West Allotment: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Tyneside. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in West Allotment
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What affects the price in West Allotment
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Tyneside and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Allotment use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
