Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

Your questions about sink repair in Forty Hill

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Forty Hill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When to call us in Forty Hill

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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.

What affects the price in Forty Hill

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Forty Hill. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Forty Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
