About our sink repair in Over Stratton

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Do you need sink repair in Over Stratton?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

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

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Over Stratton

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How much does sink repair cost in Over Stratton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
