Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

FAQs for Chingford
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your E4 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
What affects the price in Chingford
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chingford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
