How we handle sink repair in South Cheriton

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in South Cheriton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in South Cheriton

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from South Cheriton

Do you cover South Cheriton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to South Cheriton and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
