Sink repair for Totton homes

Sink repair in Totton without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Totton clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price sink repair

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

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Totton

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Totton

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you work in Totton?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
