Trusted sink repair in Horley

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

About our sink repair in Horley

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and crazing in the glaze.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Horley

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horley

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire basin

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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

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