Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Torbryan
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. 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 are paying for.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Torbryan
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Torbryan
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
