About our sink repair in Winscombe

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Winscombe

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winscombe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

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

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

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.

Questions from Winscombe

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Winscombe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
