Sink repair in Tremar Coombe, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Tremar Coombe

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need sink repair in Tremar Coombe?

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Questions from Tremar Coombe

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Tremar Coombe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

For landlords and businesses
