Sink repair in North Molton

About our sink repair in North Molton

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in North Molton as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in North Molton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

North Molton questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

What we’re called out for in North Molton

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
