Sink & basin repair in Downham, Greater London
Damaged basin in Downham? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we handle sink repair in Downham
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Downham
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Downham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Downham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
