Sink repair near Winsham

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How we handle sink repair in Winsham

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Winsham

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Winsham

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Winsham questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens next?

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

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
