When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What affects the price in West Park

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in West Park

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for West Park?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, West Park included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
