Sink Repair in Oxted
Fixed-price sink repair in Oxted and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair at your home in Oxted
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oxted
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oxted use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Oxted: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to Oxted?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Oxted. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
