Common questions in Curry Rivel

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need sink repair in Curry Rivel

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Curry Rivel use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
