What affects the price in West Brompton

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SW6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairing versus replacing in West Brompton

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Brompton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for West Brompton

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for West Brompton?

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

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
