About our sink repair in North Hyde

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 ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in North Hyde

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
