What affects the price in Modbury
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need sink repair in Modbury?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
