Lea Valley questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Lea Valley and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Sink repair at your home in Lea Valley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Chips on a built-in basin
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Lea Valley
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
