Sink repair in Blackfriars

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Sink repair in Blackfriars, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Blackfriars questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you cover Blackfriars?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blackfriars. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Blackfriars. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
