Sink repair in Torcross, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Torcross
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about sink repair in Torcross
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Torcross is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
