Sink repair for Hampton Wick homes

Sink repair at your home in Hampton Wick

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KT1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairing versus replacing in Hampton Wick

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Hampton Wick clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

How to compare quotes

Questions from Hampton Wick

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you come to Hampton Wick?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hampton Wick and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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