About our sink repair in Staines-upon-Thames

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Staines-upon-Thames, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Staines-upon-Thames questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Staines-upon-Thames

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Staines-upon-Thames

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge
