DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair in Westward Ho!, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Westward Ho! questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Westward Ho!?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Signs you need sink repair in Westward Ho!
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
