- 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Merle Common questions
Will it make a mess?

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.
Do you come to Merle Common?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Merle Common. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Merle Common is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Merle Common?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Merle Common. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
