Sink Repair for Bossiney homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Bossiney, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Bossiney, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Bossiney
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bossiney, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Other services in Bossiney
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need sink repair in Bossiney?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace in Bossiney?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
