Common questions in West Hackney
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does sink repair cost in West Hackney?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hackney
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
