Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Sink repair in Crafthole without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and an antique basin with chips, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crafthole and across Cornwall.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

For anyone letting property in or around Crafthole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
