Sink repair for Ponders End homes

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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Sink repair in Ponders End, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we’re called out for in Ponders End

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
