Sink repair for Combe homes

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Signs you need sink repair in Combe

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Crazing in the glaze

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Combe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Combe

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
