Sink repair in Westerfield without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Westerfield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Westerfield

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Westerfield questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
