You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Ivybridge
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ivybridge included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Signs you need sink repair in Ivybridge
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge

- Crazing in the glaze
Before you book anyone

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Ivybridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.
