For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about sink repair in Zeal Monachorum
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How much does sink repair cost in Zeal Monachorum?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
