About our sink repair in Hammersmith
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Hammersmith and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Hammersmith: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How much does sink repair cost in Hammersmith?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Landlord and trade work in Hammersmith
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
