Other services in West Town
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
West Town: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What affects the price in West Town
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
When to call us in West Town
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day

Landlord and trade work in West Town
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
