Sink repair in Spitalfields

Questions from Spitalfields

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spitalfields as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Spitalfields

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Spitalfields

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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.

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
