About our sink repair in Westhoughton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
