Do you need sink repair in Lydford Fair Place?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in Lydford Fair Place
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
