Advice
Sink repair in Sydenham without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
