Repair or replace: which is better?

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Thames View Estate: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thames View Estate
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Thames View Estate?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
What affects the price in Thames View Estate
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thames View Estate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
