Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair in Caterham without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Caterham questions
Do you come to Caterham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caterham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Caterham
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Caterham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caterham
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
