Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Your questions about sink repair in Finchley

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Finchley

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
