Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
About our sink repair in Wembworthy
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wembworthy as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Wembworthy: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We work UK-wide, so Wembworthy is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wembworthy. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
