Sink Repair for Crowcombe homes
Sink repair in and around Crowcombe: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Sink repair at your home in Crowcombe
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Crowcombe: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What we are called out for in Crowcombe

- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Crowcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

What else we do in Crowcombe
Landlord and trade work in Crowcombe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crowcombe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
