Sink repair in Primrose Hill without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Primrose Hill and across Greater London.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Primrose Hill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Primrose Hill

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
