Sink repair near Walham Green

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

Sink repair at your home in Walham Green

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walham Green

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
