Sink Repair in Merley
Sink repair across Merley and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we handle sink repair in Merley
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Merley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Merley

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
