How we handle sink repair in Westbourne Green

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Westbourne Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Westbourne Green

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Westbourne Green?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Signs you need sink repair in Westbourne Green

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
