What affects the price in Westhouses
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How we handle sink repair in Westhouses
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Westhouses
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Westhouses included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
