What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Questions from Westruther
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Westruther?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you come to Westruther?
We do. We send a technician to Westruther for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How much does sink repair cost in Westruther?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Westruther. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
