About our sink repair in Ammerham

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 regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Honest limits

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

What we work on

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ammerham. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairing versus replacing in Ammerham

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK

FAQs for Ammerham

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
