Questions from Great Torrington
How much does sink repair cost in Great Torrington?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Torrington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Torrington. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
