Book sink repair in Redbridge

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Sink repair in Redbridge, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Redbridge

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What happens on the day

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 morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
