Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common questions in South Merstham

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover South Merstham?

We do. Technicians travel to South Merstham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
