Sink repair for East End homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it 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 clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in East End

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in East End

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including East End and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for East End?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When to call us in East End

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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