Sink repair at your home in Acton Green

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Acton Green: your questions answered

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Acton Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlords, agents and businesses in Acton Green

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Acton Green. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
