About our sink repair in Crantock

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Crantock

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Questions from Crantock

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Crantock?

We do. Technicians travel to Crantock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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 the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crantock

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Crantock get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Crantock

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin

What to look for in a quote

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
