Common questions in Mottingham

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Mottingham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

When to call us in Mottingham

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mottingham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mottingham. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mottingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
