Sink repair at your home in Salcombe
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Your questions about sink repair in Salcombe
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Salcombe. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
