Sink repair at your home in Feock
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Feock
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Feock?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Feock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Feock included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we are called out for in Feock
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Common reasons people in Feock contact us include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Feock use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Feock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
