DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Heanton Punchardon questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Heanton Punchardon. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Heanton Punchardon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
