Trusted sink repair in Claygate

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Claygate

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need sink repair in Claygate?

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Common reasons people in Claygate contact us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
