About our sink repair in Northleigh

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Northleigh

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Northleigh.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does sink repair cost in Northleigh?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Northleigh?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Northleigh

Landlord and trade work in Northleigh

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
