Sink repair for Westwick homes

Sink repair in Westwick without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Westwick questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you work in Westwick?

We do. Technicians travel to Westwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Westwick, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
