Repair or replace in Lea Bridge?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Questions from Lea Bridge

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Lea Bridge included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Signs you need sink repair in Lea Bridge

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

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.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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