Your questions about sink repair in Combe

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will it make a mess?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Combe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Combe

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
