How we handle sink repair in Westend
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Westend
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
