Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- 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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southgate. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Most customers in Southgate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Signs you need sink repair in Southgate
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Southgate questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southgate
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
