Sink repair in Crediton, done in place

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. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Crediton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Crediton and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Crediton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need sink repair in Crediton?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
