Your questions about sink repair in North Kensington
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How we handle sink repair in North Kensington
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in North Kensington
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
What we’re called out for in North Kensington
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for these signs:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
