What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Selsdon

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Selsdon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Selsdon and the rest of Surrey. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Selsdon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
