Trusted sink repair in Torridge

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Torridge. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Sink repair at your home in Torridge

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Torridge

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need sink repair in Torridge?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Common reasons people in Torridge contact us include:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Torridge

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Torridge

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
