What else we do in Elburton
Elburton: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?
Everywhere in the UK, Elburton included. Travel is included in the price.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When to call us in Elburton
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
