Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Appledore
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
When to call us in Appledore
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Look out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring

Your questions about sink repair in Appledore

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Appledore
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
