About our sink repair in Merton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Advice
More services for Merton
Landlord and trade work in Merton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Merton questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.
Are there extra charges for Merton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Merton and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Merton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Knocks from hair straighteners

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures.
