Sink repair at your home in East Drayton

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
