Our hiring checklist

Sink repair in Nunhead without replacing anything

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Nunhead and across Greater London.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. 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 polish the repair to suit.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Nunhead questions

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover Nunhead?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Nunhead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Nunhead and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
