Book sink repair in Shoreditch

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Sink repair in Shoreditch, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

How it works

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

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we’re called out for in Shoreditch

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about sink repair in Shoreditch

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover Shoreditch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shoreditch and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your E1 postcode.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
