How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need sink repair in Budock Water?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in Budock Water
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace in Budock Water?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Budock Water. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Budock Water questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
