Sink repair at your home in Watchet

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
