Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Do you need sink repair in Yealmbridge?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in Yealmbridge

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Yealmbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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