Sink Repair in Tavistock
Problem with your basin in Tavistock? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we handle sink repair in Tavistock
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tavistock, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Tavistock
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tavistock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
