Grimscott: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Grimscott and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
