Sink repair in Higher Clovelly without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

What affects the price in Higher Clovelly
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX39 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
