What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Bow Street get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin 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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Common questions in Bow Street

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Bow Street

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
