Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Hampton

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we are called out for in Hampton

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

How to compare quotes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Your questions about sink repair in Hampton

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlord and trade work in Hampton

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

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