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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repairing versus replacing in Yelverton
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about sink repair in Yelverton
Do you work in Yelverton?
We do. We send a technician to Yelverton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What else we do in Yelverton
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we are called out for in Yelverton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin

Landlord and trade work in Yelverton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yelverton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Yelverton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
