The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lower Clapton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Clapton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
