Trusted sink repair in Axmouth

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Sink repair in Axmouth, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
