Book sink repair in Stockwell

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle sink repair in Stockwell

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

FAQs for Stockwell

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Stockwell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stockwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
