Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX36 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Molton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
