How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

About our sink repair in Pimlico

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Pimlico questions

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Pimlico and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Pimlico?

We do. We send a technician to Pimlico for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

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

  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.
