How we handle sink repair in Charlton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Charlton questions

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Charlton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Charlton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Charlton customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Charlton. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Charlton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

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.
