Sink repair near Orpington

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle sink repair in Orpington

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

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.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Orpington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Orpington questions

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Orpington?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Orpington?

We do. We send a technician to Orpington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Orpington

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
