DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need sink repair in Broadclyst?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.

- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
