Need sink repair in Newham?

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Newham

How we handle sink repair in Newham

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Newham

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Repair or replace in Newham?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Newham: your questions answered

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?

Everywhere in the UK, Newham included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Landlord and trade work in Newham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
