Sink repair in Hoe, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Hoe
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Hoe?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
