Questions from Wolborough

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.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

How much does sink repair cost in Wolborough?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ12 postcode.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How we handle sink repair in Wolborough

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wolborough use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wolborough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
