When to call us in Dewlish

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dewlish as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Dewlish

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dewlish. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts 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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Dewlish

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Dewlish included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?
