FAQs for Staddiscombe
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you work in Staddiscombe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Staddiscombe and the rest of Plymouth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Repair or replace in Staddiscombe?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
