Sink repair for South Woodford homes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

Sink repair at your home in South Woodford

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help, whatever the material.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in South Woodford

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in South Woodford

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your E18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
