The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Blackwall
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Blackwall?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Blackwall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need sink repair in Blackwall?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Blackwall
If you manage property in Blackwall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
