Sink & basin repair in Farway, Devon
We travel to Farway for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Sink repair at your home in Farway
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Farway. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing in Farway
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Farway
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX24 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Farway
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
