About our sink repair in West Buckland

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in West Buckland and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in West Buckland

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Everywhere in the UK, West Buckland included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Buckland

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
