How we price sink repair

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your E16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Silvertown

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
