How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

How we handle sink repair in Westcombe

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

Do you need sink repair in Westcombe?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Westcombe: your questions answered

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Westcombe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Westcombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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