What else we do in Laddenvean
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
FAQs for Laddenvean
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Laddenvean

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
