When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

FAQs for Avery Hill

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Avery Hill.

How much does sink repair cost in Avery Hill?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Avery Hill

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
