Trusted sink repair in Farnham

Sink repair at your home in Farnham

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Farnham: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • 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

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Farnham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Signs you need sink repair in Farnham

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
