Sink repair near Plymtree

What affects the price in Plymtree

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s 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 reply with a fixed price.

Sink repair in Plymtree, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Plymtree: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Plymtree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. 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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
