Questions from Alverdiscott
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Alverdiscott?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Alverdiscott and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need sink repair in Alverdiscott?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Alverdiscott get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
