Sink repair in Catford without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Catford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Catford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about sink repair in Catford

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Catford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Catford and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Signs you need sink repair in Catford

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
