Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbas Combe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Abbas Combe: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA8 postcode.

Are there extra charges for Abbas Combe?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What happens on the day

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 few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we are called out for in Abbas Combe

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
