Sink repair in Tinhay, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are 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.
Common questions in Tinhay
How do I get a price for sink repair in Tinhay?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Tinhay, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
