How we handle sink repair in Catherington

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

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.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Catherington questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does sink repair cost in Catherington?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repair or replace in Catherington?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
