Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Mains. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in West Mains
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
