Sink & basin repair in Illogan Highway, Cornwall
We travel to Illogan Highway for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Illogan Highway questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Illogan Highway?
We do. We send a technician to Illogan Highway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Illogan Highway
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
