Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Do you need sink repair in Slapton?

The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Slapton
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Slapton. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Slapton
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Everywhere in the UK, Slapton included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
