Sink repair in Long Compton

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Long Compton

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Long Compton: your questions answered

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in Long Compton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
