Sink repair in West Hendon, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Our work in West Hendon
West Hendon is about 2 miles north of Neasden, in Greater London. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in West Hendon and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. West Hendon is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our jobs stretch from West Hendon to London (9 miles away).
All of NW9 and NW4 is covered. We regularly work on streets such as Alpini Road, Catkin Road and Garrick Road and the roads around them. With the A5 close by, West Hendon is easy for our repair technicians to reach. Neighbouring places we cover include The Hyde (1 mile south), Colindale (1 mile north), The Burroughs (1 mile north-east), Hendon (1 mile east) and Staples Corner (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cover London (9 miles south-east), City of Westminster (6 miles south-east), Marylebone (6 miles south-east), Kensington (6 miles south), St Pancras (7 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in West Hendon

Green spaces nearby include Masons Field and Parliament Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in West Hendon
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
