Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Common problems we fix in West Witton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- What aftercare is recommended
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in West Witton
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in West Witton?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for West Witton
Which areas do you work in?

Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How much does sink repair cost in West Witton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL8 postcode.

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
