We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Your questions about sink repair in Kennington
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Kennington and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kennington. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
