When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

What affects the price in Redbridge

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Redbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Redbridge: your questions answered

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Redbridge?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Redbridge is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price
