Sink repair for Harlington homes

FAQs for Harlington

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How we handle sink repair in Harlington

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harlington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Advice

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Harlington

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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