How we handle sink repair in Ladywell

Repairing versus replacing in Ladywell

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Ladywell questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Will it make a mess?

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

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ladywell.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SE13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
