Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Alfold
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alfold as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alfold. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Alfold, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Your questions about sink repair in Alfold
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover the entire of Surrey?
Across the UK, so Alfold is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
