Common questions in Kensal Green

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Kensal Green included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Related advice

What we are called out for in Kensal Green

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An antique basin with chips

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
