Trusted sink repair in Box Hill

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Sink repair in Box Hill without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Box Hill

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole basin

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KT20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Box Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
