What else we do in Uplowman
Uplowman questions
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX16 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
