About our sink repair in Clyst Honiton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Clyst Honiton

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
