We also travel to Whiddon Down (2 miles north-east), South Zeal (2 miles north-west), South Tawton (3 miles north-west), Chagford (3 miles south-east) and Sticklepath (3 miles north-west).

Near you in Throwleigh

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Throwleigh. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK
