How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Sink repair in Princetown, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Princetown questions
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
