What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Sink repair in Hough without replacing anything
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 repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hough
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Hough?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hough

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK

Read our prices page.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
