Sink repair in Walsworth without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
For a place like Walsworth, sink repair is normally done in a few hours, with the basin left in place.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Walsworth
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Walsworth. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Walsworth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Walsworth
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Walsworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
