Sink repair in Braunton, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Braunton and across Devon.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Signs you need sink repair in Braunton

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Braunton questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Across the UK, so Braunton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braunton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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