Common questions in Langtree

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How we handle sink repair in Langtree

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Langtree

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Langtree. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
