Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Brent Knoll

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Across the UK, and that includes Brent Knoll. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

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. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brent Knoll

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we are called out for in Brent Knoll

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

Common reasons people in Brent Knoll contact us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
