How we handle sink repair in Bledington

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bledington

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Common problems we fix in Bledington

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
