Sink repair for Hollingdon homes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hollingdon. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hollingdon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Sink repair at your home in Hollingdon

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our pricing.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Hollingdon

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Signs you need sink repair in Hollingdon

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

What to look for in a quote

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Landlord and trade work in Hollingdon

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
