Sink repair in South Cadbury, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in South Cadbury

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BA22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from South Cadbury

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When can you do it?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you need sink repair in South Cadbury?

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

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Landlord and trade work in South Cadbury

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
