Sink repair in White Post

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Sink repair in White Post, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BA3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in White Post

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Your questions about sink repair in White Post

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
