Sink repair for Westwood homes

Sink repair in Westwood without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Westwood?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Common problems we fix in Westwood

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Westwood: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Westwood

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
