Common questions in West End
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in West End
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
