Book sink repair in Streatham

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Sink repair at your home in Streatham

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts 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

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about sink repair in Streatham

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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