The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Dartington
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dartington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Dartington
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace in Dartington?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
