Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Tuckenhay questions
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What affects the price in Tuckenhay
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tuckenhay. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
