Sink repair for Thames Ditton homes

Sink repair in Thames Ditton, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Thames Ditton

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need sink repair in Thames Ditton

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Thames Ditton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

Across the UK, and that includes Thames Ditton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

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.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

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

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
