How we handle sink repair in Constantine
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Local landmarks in Constantine
In Constantine, that means homes near Constantine Primary School, The Cornish Arms and Church of St Constantine. The nearest railway station is Penryn station, roughly 4.5 miles north-east. A little further out are Helston Community Hospital (4.4 miles south-west) and Helston Castle (4.8 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Carnmenellis.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What affects the price in Constantine
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Constantine. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Constantine, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently 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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
