Brockley: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Sink repair at your home in Brockley
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brockley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Brockley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
