Sink & basin repair in Coldeast, Devon
Fixed-price sink repair in Coldeast and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in Coldeast

- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

Repair or replace in Coldeast?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Coldeast questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you work in Coldeast?
We do. Technicians travel to Coldeast from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
