Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Westmill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Westmill
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Westmill: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Westmill?
We do. Technicians travel to Westmill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
