Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about sink repair in Norbury
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Norbury.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Norbury?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY13 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
