Sink repair for Devil's Den homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

How we handle sink repair in Devil's Den

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Devil's Den

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Devil's Den use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Devil's Den

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Devil's Den

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Devil's Den

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
