Why repair rather than replace?

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Do you need sink repair in Hewas Water?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Hewas Water: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
