FAQs for Tulse Hill

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Tulse Hill?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SW2 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What sink repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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 pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Tulse Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Signs you need sink repair in Tulse Hill

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
