Sink repair in Farnham

Repairing versus replacing in Farnham

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Farnham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Questions from Farnham

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you cover Farnham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Farnham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
