Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often 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 is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Sink repair at your home in Plympton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What affects the price in Plympton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Plympton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Plympton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Plympton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Plympton
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
