Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common questions in Southway
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Southway?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Southway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Southway is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Southway
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Southway
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Southway. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Southway. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Southway and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
