Sink repair for Lordswood homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Sink repair in Lordswood without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lordswood, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Lordswood

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in Lordswood

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Medway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
