How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Plaistow. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle sink repair in Plaistow
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Plaistow
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on

How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
