DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Lowertown-by-Helston
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to Lowertown-by-Helston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lowertown-by-Helston and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Lowertown-by-Helston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TR13 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
