Sink repair for Norbury homes

Sink repair in Norbury without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and an original basin worth saving.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When to call us in Norbury

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Norbury. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Norbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Norbury questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Norbury.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your basin is made of matters

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

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
