Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Erith: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Erith?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Erith?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Erith and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Erith. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

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.
