About our sink repair in Fraddon
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fraddon and across Cornwall.

Repairing versus replacing in Fraddon

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Fraddon
If you manage property in Fraddon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Fraddon questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Fraddon and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
