How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out

Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Marychurch use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

St Marychurch questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Torbay?
All of Torbay, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How much does sink repair cost in St Marychurch?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
