Choosing a repair company

Your questions about sink repair in Hornsey

Are there extra charges for Hornsey?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work in Hornsey?

We do. We send a technician to Hornsey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hornsey

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

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hornsey

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

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