What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about sink repair in Stroud Green

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What affects the price in Stroud Green

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SS4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stroud Green

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
