Need sink repair in Pitcaple?

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we’re called out for in Pitcaple

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

For a price in Pitcaple, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features 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.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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