Sink repair for Bow homes

Honest limits

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

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bow. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Landlord and trade work in Bow

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
