Common problems we fix in Milford

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GU8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Milford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Milford

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

FAQs for Milford

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
