Sink repair in St Levan

Landlord and trade work in St Levan

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

About our sink repair in St Levan

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
