Sink repair for Stratford homes

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair in Stratford without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stratford and across Greater London.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

  • Crazing in the glaze

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stratford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stratford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Stratford

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Stratford included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Stratford?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Stratford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
