Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thamesmead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Thamesmead
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much does sink repair cost in Thamesmead?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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 them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
