What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Holmbush. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Holmbush, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Holmbush: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
