What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ide. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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

About Ide
Ide is about 2 miles south-west of Exeter, in Devon. Jobs in Ide are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from photos, and a technician at your door on the day. Ide is one of 586 places in Devon we cover.
Jobs in EX2 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Whether you live on High Street, Station Road and Fore Street or a nearby road, we can come to you. If you are just outside Ide, we cover Cowick (1 mile north), St Thomas (1 mile north-east), Alphington (1 mile east), Larkbeare (2 miles north-east) and Nadderwater (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Exmouth (9 miles south-east), Newton Abbot (12 miles south), Tiverton (14 miles north), Teignmouth (11 miles south), Sidmouth (14 miles east) and Kingsteignton (11 miles south).
Local landmarks in Ide
We visit homes around Church of St Michael, Ide Primary School and Parish Church of St. Ida, among other places. Also close by are West Exe School (0.8 miles east) and The Twisted Oak pub (less than half a mile north). Ide’s nearest station is Exeter St Thomas station, about 1.2 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Rougemont Castle (1.9 miles north-east) and Franklyn Hospital (0.6 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Bowling Green Marsh RSPB reserve and Haldon Hill.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
