Sink repair in Crickham

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we handle sink repair in Crickham

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Common problems we fix in Crickham

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge

How to compare quotes

Questions from Crickham

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Crickham included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crickham

If you manage property in Crickham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
