How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

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

Do you need sink repair in Slapton?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Slapton

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Slapton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
