Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Cross questions
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
