DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need sink repair in Esher?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack near the taps

What affects the price in Esher

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

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 reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Esher

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
