Your questions about sink repair in Burntcommon

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover Burntcommon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Burntcommon and the rest of Surrey. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Burntcommon clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners

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.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
