Landlords, agents and businesses in Combe Martin

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Sink repair in Combe Martin, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Your questions about sink repair in Combe Martin

What does sink repair cost?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Combe Martin.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
