Sink repair in Westley

Sink repair in Westley, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Westley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Westley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Signs you need sink repair in Westley

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
