Sink repair near West Norwood

Sink repair in West Norwood, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Period homes around West Norwood sometimes still have original basins and toilets, and a matching replacement can be hard to find. A repair keeps what you have.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. For a flat in West Norwood, replacement can also disturb neighbours below and need the building manager’s say-so. A repair is quieter and quicker.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Norwood. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included. For a visit in West Norwood, parking and stairs are the things to plan: let us know the floor, whether there is a lift and about permits or bays, and we’ll bring everything to the room.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
