Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Holne: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Holne?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Holne. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • A fixed quote before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Holne. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Holne

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Holne

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
