How we handle sink repair in Richmond upon Thames

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs

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

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The size and number of damaged areas
What the surface is made of
How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The material, if you know it
A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Richmond upon Thames, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

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

A basin cracked through and leaking
A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Questions from Richmond upon Thames

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we’re called out for in Richmond upon Thames

Knocks from hair straighteners
An antique basin with chips
A crazed, tired basin
Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before you book

Aftercare advice
How long it needs to cure
The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Richmond upon Thames

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Richmond upon Thames use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Richmond upon Thames, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
