Sink repair at your home in Harlesden
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we’re called out for in Harlesden

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Harlesden

Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NW10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
