Your questions about sink repair in Lyneham

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

About our sink repair in Lyneham

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Lyneham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Do you need sink repair in Lyneham?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
