Sink repair in Walthamstow Village

Sink repair at your home in Walthamstow Village

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about sink repair in Walthamstow Village

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Walthamstow Village?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually the cheaper route.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Walthamstow Village. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
