Sink & basin repair in Street, Devon
Fixed-price sink repair in Street and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our sink repair in Street
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

About Street
Street is about 4 miles east of Sidmouth, in Devon. Across the EX12 area, we come to you. Street is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon we cover.
Postcode districts we cover here: EX12. If you’re just outside Street, we cover Branscombe (1 mile east), Weston (1 mile west), Harcombe (2 miles north-west), Salcombe Regis (2 miles west) and Beer (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Exmouth (12 miles south-west), Sidmouth (4 miles west), Honiton (7 miles north), Cullompton (15 miles north-west), Seaton (4 miles east) and Cranbrook (12 miles west).
Around Street
In Street, that means homes near Fountain Head pub, St Winifred's Church and Branscombe Church of England Primary School. Well-known places in the area include Sidmouth Hospital (4 miles west) and Axe Valley Heritage Museum (3.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Peak Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Street
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Street
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Street. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
