About our sink repair in Westcotes
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
If you’re in Westcotes and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Westcotes
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Westcotes. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Questions from Westcotes
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicester.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Westcotes?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Westcotes and the rest of Leicester. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What else we do in Westcotes
Repairing versus replacing in Westcotes
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
