Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
FAQs for Westgate
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are there extra charges for Westgate?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
