Sink repair in West Calder without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Calder and across West Lothian.

Repairing versus replacing in West Calder
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will 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
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for West Calder. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in West Calder, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in West Calder
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlord and trade work in West Calder
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from West Calder
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
