How we handle sink repair in Helland
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Helland and across Cornwall.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repairing versus replacing in Helland
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Helland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Helland
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you work in Helland?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Helland and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
