Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Falmouth

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Falmouth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Falmouth. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
