Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Sink repair at your home in Westacott
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and chips on the rim or front edge, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Westacott
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Westacott?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Westacott from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Do you need sink repair in Westacott?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Westacott?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
