Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair at your home in Westerton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westerton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
