Sink repair near Brixton

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brixton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Sink repair in Brixton without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Brixton

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When to call us in Brixton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Brixton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brixton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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