Sink & basin repair in Colebrook, Devon
Our repair technicians come to Colebrook for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
About our sink repair in Colebrook
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Colebrook. The price reflects:

- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Colebrook
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
