What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Do you need sink repair in West Park?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why West Park customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in West Park

Questions from West Park

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of St Helens?

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

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
