Your questions about sink repair in Gomshall

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gomshall.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How we handle sink repair in Gomshall

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gomshall, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Gomshall

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY kit or professional 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 fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
