Sink repair in Calstock, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Calstock and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Calstock, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Calstock
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about sink repair in Calstock
How do I get a price for sink repair in Calstock?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL18 postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
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.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Landlord and trade work in Calstock
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
