Trusted sink repair in West Bay

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

When to call us in West Bay

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Common reasons people in West Bay contact us are:

  • Crazing in the glaze

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
