Sink & basin repair in Cawsand, Cornwall
Sink repair in and around Cawsand: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Cawsand
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Cawsand: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
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.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Cawsand and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
