About our sink repair in Farringdon

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Farringdon

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Farringdon. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

FAQs for Farringdon

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Repairing versus replacing in Farringdon

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Farringdon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Farringdon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
