Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about sink repair in Buckerell
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Buckerell?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EX14 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckerell
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
