Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Exminster. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Exminster
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts

Your questions about sink repair in Exminster
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How much does sink repair cost in Exminster?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
