Sink repair for Melcombe Bingham homes

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Sink repair at your home in Melcombe Bingham

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

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?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Melcombe Bingham

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Melcombe Bingham

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover Melcombe Bingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Melcombe Bingham and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What affects the price in Melcombe Bingham

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
