Sink repair at your home in Farleigh
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Farleigh: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Farleigh and the rest of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farleigh
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
