Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about sink repair in Gwithian
Are there extra charges for Gwithian?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
