Sink repair near Westcott Barton

Sink repair in Westcott Barton, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Westcott Barton

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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.
