Sink repair for West Dulwich homes

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we work on in West Dulwich

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
