Sink & basin repair in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey
Problem with your basin in Sunbury-on-Thames? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle sink repair in Sunbury-on-Thames
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Sunbury-on-Thames
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in Sunbury-on-Thames
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Sunbury-on-Thames?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sunbury-on-Thames from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
