Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair in Freathy, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Freathy questions
Do you work in Freathy?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Freathy. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
How much does sink repair cost in Freathy?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
