DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle sink repair in Elmbridge
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Elmbridge questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What sink repair costs

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
