Sink repair in Northolt

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

About our sink repair in Northolt

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Northolt and across Greater London.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we’re called out for in Northolt

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Northolt

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
