About our sink repair in Norwood End

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Norwood End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Norwood End

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens on the day

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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
