Book sink repair in Backwell

Landlord and trade work in Backwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backwell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Sink repair in Backwell, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

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

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Backwell

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you come to Backwell?

We do. Technicians travel to Backwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in Backwell

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
