Sink repair for Mid Devon homes

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

  • Fine cracks across the glaze

  • Knocks from hair straighteners

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Mid Devon. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
