Trusted sink repair in Temple Hill

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

About our sink repair in Temple Hill

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Temple Hill

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

FAQs for Temple Hill

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover Temple Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Temple Hill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Temple Hill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
