How we handle sink repair in Tongham

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Tongham: your questions answered

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Tongham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tongham and the rest of Surrey. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tongham

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Do you need sink repair in Tongham?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
