A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

About our sink repair in Somers Town

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Somers Town

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work in Somers Town?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we’re called out for in Somers Town

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Common reasons people in Somers Town contact us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Repair or replace in Somers Town?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Somers Town

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Somers Town, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
