Sink repair for Ludgvan homes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Ludgvan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Sink repair in Ludgvan without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Ludgvan

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Ludgvan

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you work in Ludgvan?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ludgvan and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
