DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle sink repair in Westbere
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Westbere
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

Your questions about sink repair in Westbere
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
