What we are called out for in Chingford Hatch

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chingford Hatch. The price comes down to:

- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chingford Hatch. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Chingford Hatch
How much does sink repair cost in Chingford Hatch?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Chingford Hatch.

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What information do you need?

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
