Common questions in Woolacombe
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Woolacombe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woolacombe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Woolacombe?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Sink repair at your home in Woolacombe
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Woolacombe
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woolacombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Woolacombe
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Woolacombe

- A period basin that needs restoring
