Questions from Combeinteignhead
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Combeinteignhead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Combeinteignhead. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
About our sink repair in Combeinteignhead
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Combeinteignhead
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Combeinteignhead. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
