When to call us in Egloshayle

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

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Sink repair in Egloshayle, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and a crazed, tired basin, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Egloshayle. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Egloshayle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL27 postcode.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
