Sink repair in St Pancras without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about sink repair in St Pancras

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in St Pancras?

We do. We send a technician to St Pancras for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in St Pancras

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for St Pancras. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Pancras, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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

Should you replace it?
