How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Ilford: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Ilford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairing versus replacing in Ilford
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Ilford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
