Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

What areas do you cover?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

How much does sink repair cost in Upper Norwood?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
