Sink repair in Frome

Sink repair in Frome, done in place

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Frome and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frome as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Frome

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we work on in Frome

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
