Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Sink repair in West End, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about sink repair in West End
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West End.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for West End. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
