What else we do in Bantham Cross
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Bantham Cross?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Bantham Cross, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
