Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about sink repair in Fernham

How much does sink repair cost in Fernham?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

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.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
