Sink repair in Morchard Bishop, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we are called out for in Morchard Bishop
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about sink repair in Morchard Bishop
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
