About our sink repair in Kew

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and a crack near the taps, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Kew?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What we’re called out for in Kew

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Look out for these signs:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 frequently lifts.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kew. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Kew questions

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, 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.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your W4 postcode.

Do you cover Kew?

We do. We send a technician to Kew for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you restore period basins?

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
