What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Parracombe. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Parracombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle sink repair in Parracombe
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
