Sink repair in East End of London, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries.
Some older homes in East End of London still have period sanitaryware, which can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps what you have.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Your questions about sink repair in East End of London
Can you restore the original basins in an older house in East End of London?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is it hard to park for a visit in East End of London?
It helps if you can arrange a visitor permit or tell us where we can stop, and we’ll plan the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up. In East End of London, the main thing to plan is parking and access: tell us which floor the basin is on, whether there is a lift, and where we can park, and we’ll bring everything to the room.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. In a London home like many in East End of London, replacing a basin also means getting the old one out and the new one in, frequently up stairs, plus parking for the fitters and room for any waste. Sink repair in place avoids all of that.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
