About our sink repair in Ham

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. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Ham

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Why Ham clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Ham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Ham questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Ham?

Prices start 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 TW10 postcode.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ham

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire basin

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TW10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
