About our sink repair in Plymouth
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Plymouth
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work in Plymouth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Plymouth and the rest of Plymouth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Plymouth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Plymouth?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Plymouth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
