Sink repair for Old Malden homes

Sink repair in Old Malden without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about sink repair in Old Malden

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How much does sink repair cost in Old Malden?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
