Sink repair in Farnham, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring.

Advice
Questions from Farnham
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Farnham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does sink repair cost in Farnham?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HG5 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Do you need sink repair in Farnham?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
