About our sink repair in Manaccan
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Manaccan
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Manaccan questions
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Manaccan.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How much does sink repair cost in Manaccan?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
