About our sink repair in Merriott

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Merriott

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Merriott. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Merriott

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Common reasons people in Merriott contact us are:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Merriott questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
