Common questions in West Pilton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to West Pilton?
We do. Technicians travel to West Pilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we are called out for in West Pilton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in West Pilton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
