For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What else we do in Maker
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Maker
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote

- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
