Sink repair in Sidcup

Sink repair at your home in Sidcup

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Do you need sink repair in Sidcup?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
