Landlords, agents and businesses in Bickington

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about sink repair in Bickington

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

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 you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Bickington

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common problems we fix in Bickington

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving
