Sink repair at your home in Ipplepen
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ipplepen and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the price in Ipplepen
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ipplepen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
