Sink repair in South Tawton, done in place
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 enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in South Tawton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in South Tawton
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in South Tawton
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Tawton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
