How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Gillette Corner

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gillette Corner. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about sink repair in Gillette Corner

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What affects the price in Gillette Corner

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
