What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

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

  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Charlton

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

New Charlton: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
