Sink repair in Lanreath, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

FAQs for Lanreath
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Lanreath?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lanreath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Lanreath
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs

If you are in Lanreath and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
