How we handle sink repair in Bishop's Tawton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop's Tawton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
