Sink repair near Albany Park

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Albany Park

Are you accredited?

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

Will you remove the sink?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Albany Park is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you restore period basins?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Albany Park, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Albany Park. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Do you need sink repair in Albany Park?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
