Sink repair near Hew Green

Sink repair at your home in Hew Green

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. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hew Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in Hew Green

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hew Green included. Travel is included in the price.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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