About sink repair in Torbay
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Local landmarks in Paignton
We visit homes around Sacred Heart Catholic School, Paignton Academy and Parish Church of Christ Church and the streets around them. Paignton has its own railway station: Paignton station. Other landmarks nearby include The Real Crime Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Berry Pomeroy Castle (3 miles west). Not far away are Occombe Valley Woods.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Torbay
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that.
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Torbay: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
