Flushing: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide, so Flushing is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are there extra charges for Flushing?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does sink repair cost in Flushing?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR11 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Flushing. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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 is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
