Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hackbridge?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CR4 postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

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.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hackbridge. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
