How we handle sink repair in Merridge

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Merridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Your questions about sink repair in Merridge

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does sink repair cost in Merridge?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA5 postcode.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We cover the entire UK, including Merridge and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work in Merridge?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Merridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Merridge?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Merridge. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
