Book sink repair in Wallington

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Sink repair in Wallington, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wallington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Wallington

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common problems we fix in Wallington

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
