Sink repair in Fitzrovia

About our sink repair in Fitzrovia

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Landlord and trade work in Fitzrovia

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
