Stoke Gabriel questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Stoke Gabriel and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Stoke Gabriel

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stoke Gabriel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
