What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What affects the price in Westbourne
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Westbourne. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westbourne as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Westbourne
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How much does sink repair cost in Westbourne?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally the cheaper route.
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.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
