Sink repair in Walworth

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Walworth. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Sink repair in Walworth, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Walworth

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Walworth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Walworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we work on in Walworth

Materials and what they mean for the repair
