Sink repair in Kennington

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Kennington

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Kennington. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Landlord and trade work in Kennington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kennington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
