Sink repair in Bude without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Signs you need sink repair in Bude
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Common reasons people in Bude contact us include:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
