How it works

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plumstead
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it

What happens if you find more damage?

Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Plumstead?
We do. We send a technician to Plumstead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Plumstead get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
