Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Norbury

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Norbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need sink repair in Norbury?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
