How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in Cheston
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work in Cheston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cheston and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When to call us in Cheston
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

What affects the price in Cheston
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cheston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
