Sink repair in North Sheen without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

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 polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 normally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace in North Sheen?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Advice
North Sheen questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What affects the price in North Sheen
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
