Sink repair at your home in Sutcombe
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Common questions in Sutcombe
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutcombe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
