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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Sampford Courtenay

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Sampford Courtenay and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
