Sink repair for Burgh St Margaret homes

Sink repair at your home in Burgh St Margaret

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Burgh St Margaret

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

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

Landlord and trade work in Burgh St Margaret

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we work on in Burgh St Margaret

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

Common problems we fix in Burgh St Margaret

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
