What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. In a village or hamlet like Somerford Booths, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Somerford Booths. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Somerford Booths

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

In the older streets of Somerford Booths, around landmarks like St Michael's Church, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. In an older home in a village like Somerford Booths, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

Somerford Booths: your questions answered

Do you work for schools and businesses in Somerford Booths?

Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.

Will you travel to Somerford Booths?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
