Sink repair near Woolcotts

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Woolcotts

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Woolcotts?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Woolcotts and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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 room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Woolcotts?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Woolcotts

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Do you need sink repair in Woolcotts?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.
