Sink repair at your home in Looe

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in Looe

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Looe. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Do you need sink repair in Looe?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
