Sink repair for Homerton homes

How we handle sink repair in Homerton

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Homerton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Homerton

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Homerton questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
