Sink repair near Shepherd's Bush

Sink repair in Shepherd's Bush without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need sink repair in Shepherd's Bush

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Shepherd's Bush: your questions answered

How much does sink repair cost in Shepherd's Bush?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your W12 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shepherd's Bush as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
