Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cheam. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Cheam

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Cheam questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Are there extra charges for Cheam?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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