Trusted sink repair in Ockley

Sink repair in Ockley without replacing anything

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. We’re often asked to fix an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Ockley

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Ockley?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ockley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

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.

What affects the price in Ockley

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ockley. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Ockley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
