Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Eggesford

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eggesford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eggesford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
