About our sink repair in Buckland
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What else we do in Buckland
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Buckland: your questions answered
Do you cover Buckland?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Buckland and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need sink repair in Buckland
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
