How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. 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. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Axbridge. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole basin

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Do you need sink repair in Axbridge?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Questions from Axbridge

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

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

Materials we work on in Axbridge

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
