FAQs for Chertsey

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Repair or replace in Chertsey?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Chertsey customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Chertsey

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chertsey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
