About our sink repair in Maenporth
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Maenporth questions
How much does sink repair cost in Maenporth?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
