Sink & basin repair in Lutton, Devon
We travel to Lutton for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Sink repair in Lutton without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lutton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Common questions in Lutton
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Lutton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Lutton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
