Sink repair in Westwoodhill, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Westwoodhill. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Westwoodhill

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
