Sink repair in Brockley Green without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Repair or replace in Brockley Green?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Brockley Green

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Your questions about sink repair in Brockley Green

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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 a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

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