Sink repair in Steart, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Our hiring checklist

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Questions from Steart

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Steart and the rest of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Steart

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steart as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Steart. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
