Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Helford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Helford. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about sink repair in Helford
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
