Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Helston: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Helston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Helston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR13 postcode.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Helston
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Helston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
