About our sink repair in Mortlake

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Mortlake

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

Across the UK, and that includes Mortlake. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Mortlake?

We do. Technicians travel to Mortlake from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When to call us in Mortlake

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mortlake

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
