How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Sink repair at your home in Paddington

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Paddington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Paddington

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What affects the price in Paddington

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Paddington. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Paddington

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Paddington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in Paddington

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
