Landlords, agents and businesses in Dawlish
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Dawlish get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our pricing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Dawlish questions
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Dawlish. Prices do not change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dawlish.
