Trusted sink repair in Merton Abbey

Sink repair in Merton Abbey, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Merton Abbey questions

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Merton Abbey

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need sink repair in Merton Abbey?

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
