Sink repair near Brent Cross

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Sink repair in Brent Cross without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brent Cross

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brent Cross. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need sink repair in Brent Cross

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Brent Cross questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Brent Cross?

We do. We send a technician to Brent Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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