Englishcombe questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens next?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

About our sink repair in Englishcombe

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Englishcombe

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Englishcombe. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Englishcombe

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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