About our sink repair in Westbrook

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Westbrook

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Westbrook questions

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Westbrook?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Westbrook and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the visit works

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 few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Westbrook

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

Repairing versus replacing in Westbrook

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
