Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Sink repair in Gweek, 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. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When to call us in Gweek
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
