How we handle sink repair in South Zeal
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in South Zeal
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Zeal. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in South Zeal get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in South Zeal
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

South Zeal: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We work UK-wide, and that includes South Zeal. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairing versus replacing in South Zeal
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
