Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Sink repair in Bodella without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bodella and across Cornwall.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What else we do in Bodella
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Bodella
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
