Your questions about sink repair in Westbourne
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Westbourne
For anyone letting property in or around Westbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
