Common questions in Milkwall
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Milkwall?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Milkwall
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milkwall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace in Milkwall?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Milkwall. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Milkwall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
