For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilkhampton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle sink repair in Kilkhampton
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Kilkhampton questions
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Kilkhampton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
