About our sink repair in Hammer Bottom

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hammer Bottom use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Advice

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 polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Signs you need sink repair in Hammer Bottom

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Hammer Bottom questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
