Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need sink repair in Greengate?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Greengate

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Greengate: your questions answered

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 hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
