DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Wellswood
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in Wellswood?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wellswood and the rest of Torbay. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Wellswood
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
