How we handle sink repair in Totteridge

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totteridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about sink repair in Totteridge

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Are there extra charges for Totteridge?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

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. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HP13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
