Sink repair in West Cross, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to West Cross. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
