- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Illogan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Illogan
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Common reasons people in Illogan contact us are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Illogan, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Common questions in Illogan
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you cover Illogan?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Illogan from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Illogan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
