DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Barking

- Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Barking
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Barking get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
