How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common questions in Westerwood
Do you cover Westerwood?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Westerwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Westerwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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 typically cheaper.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
