Common questions in Thurlestone
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you price it without visiting?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Thurlestone?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Do you need sink repair in Thurlestone?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
