Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Westwood

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Where we work around Westwood
Westwood is about 1 mile north-west of Oldham, in Oldham. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. Westwood is one of 72 towns and villages in Oldham where we work. You can also see our page for Manchester, about 6 miles away.
Our visits in OL9, OL1 and OL8 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From Main Road, Busk Road and Maple Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Westwood is on the A671 and A6048, which makes it straightforward to reach. We also cover the places around Westwood: Northmoor (1 mile south-east), Busk (1 mile west), Coldhurst (1 mile north-east), Baretrees (1 mile north-west) and Cowhill (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cover Failsworth (3 miles south-west), Shaw (3 miles north-east), Lees (3 miles east), Crompton (3 miles north-east), Uppermill (5 miles east) and High Crompton (3 miles north).

We visit homes around Halal Inn, Westwood Academy and Hulme Grammar School, among other places. You’ll also find Westwood Moravian Church (under half a mile south-west), Oldham Academy North (under half a mile east) and Werneth Park (0.9 miles south).

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Westwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Westwood
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Westwood?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Westwood questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
