Sink & basin repair in Foundry, Cornwall
Problem with your basin in Foundry? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Foundry. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need sink repair in Foundry
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
