Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harcombe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

What else we do in Harcombe
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Harcombe
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
