Sink repair in Holbeton, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Holbeton
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
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 morning or an afternoon.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Holbeton questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, 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 disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
