Need sink repair in Seaton?

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Sink repair at your home in Seaton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Seaton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Seaton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Seaton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HU11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should you replace it?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common questions in Seaton

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
