Sink repair in Vole, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Vole and across Somerset.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Vole, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Vole

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Vole

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Vole. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

If you are in Vole and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

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, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
