The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

FAQs for Mawgan Porth

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the entire UK, including Mawgan Porth and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
