Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Signs you need sink repair in Crumplehorn
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What else we do in Crumplehorn
Landlord and trade work in Crumplehorn
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Crumplehorn: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Crumplehorn?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Crumplehorn?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Crumplehorn. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
