When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Ruxley

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ruxley

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Most clients in Ruxley 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.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
