Need sink repair in Thornicombe?

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

What we work on

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

Sink repair in Thornicombe without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Thornicombe

How do I get a price for sink repair in Thornicombe?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
