Sink repair in Kilburn, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Kilburn: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kilburn.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Are there extra charges for Kilburn?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilburn

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Kilburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
