Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in West Somerton

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Common questions in West Somerton

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover West Somerton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to West Somerton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why West Somerton customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
