Sink repair for North Common homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Common

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Common use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our sink repair in North Common

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help.

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

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

North Common: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What information do you need?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes North Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to North Common. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
