Repair or replace in Plungar?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common questions in Plungar

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Plungar?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Plungar. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Plungar, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common problems we fix in Plungar

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
