FAQs for West Ham

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How much does sink repair cost in West Ham?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for West Ham. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What we’re called out for in West Ham

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped basin edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
