Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Holland Park questions

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How much does sink repair cost in Holland Park?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you need sink repair in Holland Park?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Holland Park

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Holland Park

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
