About our sink repair in Mersham

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairing versus replacing in Mersham

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Mersham questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Mersham

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
