Sink repair in Gidea Park

About our sink repair in Gidea Park

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gidea Park. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Gidea Park

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Gidea Park: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How much does sink repair cost in Gidea Park?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover Gidea Park?

We do. We send a technician to Gidea Park for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Gidea Park

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

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