When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Totteridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Totteridge

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Totteridge: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Totteridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Totteridge and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
