Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need sink repair in Westquarter?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Common reasons people in Westquarter contact us are:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins

Questions from Westquarter
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
