Sink repair in Kingsteignton without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Questions from Kingsteignton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Kingsteignton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsteignton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we are called out for in Kingsteignton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
