Sink repair at your home in Monkleigh

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Monkleigh?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Signs you need sink repair in Monkleigh

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Common reasons people in Monkleigh contact us are:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
