Sink Repair in Feniton
Problem with your basin in Feniton? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
About our sink repair in Feniton
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Feniton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Feniton. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Feniton
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Do you need sink repair in Feniton?
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
