Sink repair at your home in Westlinton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westlinton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westlinton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Westlinton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Westlinton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

FAQs for Westlinton
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Westlinton?
We do. We send a technician to Westlinton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Repairing versus replacing in Westlinton
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
