Questions from Hendon
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work in Hendon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hendon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How we handle sink repair in Hendon
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 antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Everything repaired in place

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Common problems we fix in Hendon
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
