Lower Kilburn questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Kilburn
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Kilburn. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
