Sink repair for Okehampton homes

About our sink repair in Okehampton

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you have cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right.

Around Okehampton, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, some with long-standing suites. If a piece is chipped, repairing it keeps the suite together.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Okehampton

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An antique basin with chips

Rented homes near Okehampton station (about 0.6 miles south) change hands often, and repairing basins between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

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

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Okehampton questions

Can you fix basins at a school or business in Okehampton?

Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Okehampton?

Often, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX20 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I fix it myself?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
