Bethnal Green questions

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Bethnal Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your basin is made of matters

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

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.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need sink repair in Bethnal Green?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
