How we handle sink repair in Ockford Ridge

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ockford Ridge and across Surrey.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks

Common questions in Ockford Ridge

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Ockford Ridge?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ockford Ridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we’re called out for in Ockford Ridge

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repair or replace in Ockford Ridge?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
