Sink repair for South Bermondsey homes

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Sink repair at your home in South Bermondsey

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Bermondsey

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Bermondsey use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we are called out for in South Bermondsey

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

FAQs for South Bermondsey

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How do I book?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in South Bermondsey.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
