Poplar: your questions answered
Do you cover Poplar?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Poplar and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Poplar included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When to call us in Poplar
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Poplar?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Poplar
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
