Sink repair at your home in Putney

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Putney

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Putney clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Putney and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Putney use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Putney

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  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 it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, 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.
