Sink repair for Chipstead homes

How we handle sink repair in Chipstead

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chipstead as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • 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 before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you need sink repair in Chipstead?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
