How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shillingford Abbot. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shillingford Abbot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Shillingford Abbot and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about sink repair in Shillingford Abbot
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
Repair or replace in Shillingford Abbot?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
