Sink repair in Filleigh, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Filleigh
When can you do it?

Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Filleigh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Filleigh. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Filleigh
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
