Sink repair in Meeth

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Meeth questions

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
