- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Sink repair in West Park without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in West Park
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Common problems we fix in West Park
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in West Park, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
