Questions from Westmill
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Westmill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Westmill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Westmill?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we are called out for in Westmill
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
