Sink repair for Golders Green homes

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t 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 hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Golders Green

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you come to Golders Green?

We do. Technicians travel to Golders Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We cover the entire UK, including Golders Green and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What sink repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NW11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Golders Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Golders Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
