Trusted sink repair in Earlsfield

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Sink repair in Earlsfield without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Earlsfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Earlsfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Earlsfield: your questions answered

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Earlsfield and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
