Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Budleigh Salterton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we are called out for in Budleigh Salterton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
