- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Sink repair in Derriton without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Derriton
Do you come to Derriton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Derriton and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are there extra charges for Derriton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Derriton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Derriton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
