Trusted sink repair in Westwick Row

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Our hiring checklist

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Westwick Row. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
