Sink & basin repair in Cranbrook, Devon
Our repair technicians come to Cranbrook for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair in Cranbrook without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Cranbrook
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
