Sink repair for Holcombe homes

Sink repair at your home in Holcombe

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and an antique basin with chips.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

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.

Composite and resin

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Holcombe?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Holcombe: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Holcombe.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Holcombe included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
