Sink repair in Bexley Riverside

How we handle sink repair in Bexley Riverside

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bexley Riverside. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Bexley Riverside

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Bexley Riverside?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Bexley Riverside included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Signs you need sink repair in Bexley Riverside

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
