Market Weston: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does sink repair cost in Market Weston?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Market Weston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
