FAQs for Ermington

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We work UK-wide, so Ermington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Ermington?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL21 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need sink repair in Ermington?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Ermington?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Ermington clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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