Trusted sink repair in Montacute

Sink repair in Montacute without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Montacute

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Montacute?

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Montacute, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Montacute?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Signs you need sink repair in Montacute

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
