Repairing versus replacing in Romford

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. In flats around Romford, replacing can mean noise, dust and permission from the building’s managers. A repair is quieter and quicker.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

See our Prices page.

When to call us in Romford

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Concordia Academy, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

Common questions in Romford

Do you work for landlords with property near Romford station?

Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

Is it hard to park for a visit in Romford?

It can be, so tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. We will work around it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Romford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. In Romford, we are used to flats, stairs and tight hallways. Everything we need fits in a few cases, and the room is sheeted before we start.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RM1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
