How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Advice
Repairs by material

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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Landlord and trade work in Combe
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Combe
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Combe and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
