What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Topsham
How do I get a price for sink repair in Topsham?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Topsham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover Topsham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Topsham and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Topsham
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
