Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

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.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Winkleigh

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Signs you need sink repair in Winkleigh

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Winkleigh. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Winkleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Winkleigh, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
