Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. 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 carefully around original features.
The process
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 morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Hollacombe
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hollacombe. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Hollacombe: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover the entire of Plymouth?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hollacombe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
