What affects the price in Hackney Central
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Sink repair in Hackney Central without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
