FAQs for Little Torrington
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Little Torrington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Little Torrington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Little Torrington.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, 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.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What affects the price in Little Torrington
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
