Trusted sink repair in Hampton

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

About our sink repair in Hampton

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Hampton questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Are there extra charges for Hampton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
